<<Congrats on your NTAP trading... There's nothing wrong with locking in some profits...=) Regards, Scott >> Thanks,......but dont congratulate me unless I am able to buy them back cheaper then 20.25...cheap enough to offset the gains, although I have losses to carry over so gains really arent a tax problem <ggg>...but I love NTAP...have wanted it to be one of my largest holdings, but at same time, I figured I needed to try and play some of this volatility a little more....last time ntap nipped at $20 I almost sold, but didnt, cause like I said, I want alot of this stock as a core long term holding....but then she dropped back to 15 and I was thinking "damn, I could have sold and rebought" and then I thought about how many times I have thought that the last few months.....I could have made a killing selling the rallies and buying back on the dips, but I figured with such low cost basises, and since I want these stocks long term, why take a chance in selling, since I bought so cheaply to begin with....anyway.....I would very much like to buy the 1/3position I sold, and hopefully alot cheaper...or maybe pick up some 04 leaps...problem is....the stock TA says it is in breakout mode to the upside, but common sense and others opinion is it got ahead of itself and may need some retracement....wish my crystal ball worked better......LOL
